Location: Shirehampton Road, Stoke Bishop, Bristol Case Type: Application to vary pre-commencement conditions Council: Bristol City Council Status: Approved Full planning permission was granted for the demolition of an existing garage and the construction of one new dwelling. The decision notice included 6 pre-commencement conditions, however construction works began on site prior to approval of the relevant details. As such, an application to vary the original permission was submitted in order to regularise the development already undertaken on site. It is important to read the decision notice in full before any work begins. If conditions are not discharged or adhered to you can be subject to planning enforcement action in the form of a Temporary Stop Notice which will prevent you from working on site, or a Breach of Condition Notice which will be visible indefinitely on all future land/property searches. You might also invalidate your planning permission which means that it cannot be implemented lawfully.
